The Faculty of Queen Ethelburga’s, which is one of the two senior schools for Years 10-13 at Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate in Thorpe Underwood, York, has been awarded the prestigious title of Independent Schools Association – Senior School of the Year 2024. Well done to them!
ISA senior schools are already among the best in the country. So, to become the ISA Senior School of the Year, QE Faculty had to go above and beyond!
The fact that the school offers a diverse and flexible curriculum with timetables designed around each student’s passions, certainly went a long way to helping them stand out! On top of that, they also offer students a choice of over 150 extracurricular activities including Esports and Motorsports to have a go at.
For athletes, the school offers Year 12 students an additional five hours a week for sporting development structured around four AS levels as part of QE’s popular Performance Sport Pathway (PSP). Last year, Head Boy, Sebastian, received AA in his A Levels plus a BTEC Distinction whilst captaining QE’s First Rugby team, and progressed to study Management at Loughborough University.
QE Faculty also promotes excellence and development in the arts through its Queen’s Academy for Creative Arts and its Academy of Dramatic Arts (ADA) pathway. Budding artists and designers are fully supported within the rich arts offering of QE’s Gold Artsmark accredited creative arts department, who offer a large choice of subject options and extracurriculars, outstanding facilities and extra studio time – the results of which can be seen in how many students receive regional and national awards and prestigious university places each year.
QE Faculty ranks 2nd in Yorkshire for A-Level results behind fellow senior school, QE College, due in large part to the academic support offered, including expert training on study and revision technique and catch-up sessions for time missed through fixtures, trials, auditions, rehearsals, competitions or performances.
